steering columns- cherokee to wrangler?

I'm considering getting a new AGR steering gearbox. Does anybody have any good/bad experience with 'em? What's best for an on-road driver that gets off-road every week or so? Box 1 has 16:1 and box 2 has variable rate of

drivetrain's

What do the ratios mean?

Mine has 4 turns point to point, so 4:1?

So I ended up putting the cherokee column in my 87 wrangler. The tilt mechanism was beyond us. Some bolts were missing.

Put in a non-tilt column from a cherokee. The bottom of the column had to be ground down to fit into the firewall. No problem.

Then it turned out that the new column is 3 cm shorter than the one I took out. Ok, burned new holes for mounting the bracket under the dash. No problem.

Then it turns out that the brake switch on the top of the brake pedal is contacting the outer sleeve on the (shorter) non-tilt column.

So, I disconnected the brake light switch until I can get it apart again and figure out how to give it clearance.

I thought the brake light switch was that thing on the master cylinder.

Oh, horn shorts out too. Disconnected it for now until we can get back in under the wheel.

Steering columns are a lot more crowded than I remember working on my corvair. The actual ignition switch isn't even at the key lock. The key mechanism pushes a rod down to the switch under the dashboard!
